An Irishman found stabbed to death in Australia at the weekend will be buried there rather than in Ireland, his family said yesterday. Mr Anthony Forde (37), a builder, was found dead with stab wounds to his back inside his blazing home in Balcatta, Perth. Police believe the fire was started deliberately.
His parents, Michael and Eileen, who moved back to Wilton in Cork city last April after 22 years in Australia, confirmed that Anthony, the youngest in a family of five, would be buried in Perth, where his brothers, Kevin and Paul, live.
